Social Media Day: Top Influencers on Instagram in The GCC

Instagram is known to be the best platform influencers can sign in and engage with their followers. This might be because it is not restricted to one way of publishing the content, as you can publish visuals or stories like those of Snapchat.

In addition, it is one of the newest and fancy platforms. People usually follow influencers’ steps and engage with them, as they talk about real-life matters or publish something that gets people out of boredom.
